Central Square field band director cuts it close

Submitted photoCentral Square Redhawk Regiment field band director Ron Haldeman smiles as he lives up to the bet he lost. Senior Chad Thompson made a bet with Haldeman in July that if the field band won a second consecutive state championship, band members could shave his head. The band won a second championship Oct. 26 at the Carrier Dome. Haldeman was subjected to the head shaving in front of a crowd of 311 at the band banquet Nov. 9 at Greenview Country Club in West Monroe. Pictured are band director Haldeman being shaved by Chad Thompson while Jason Burr and Cameron Mitchell look on.
